• Track Listing

Vinyl LP pressing. 2012 release, the 20th album from the Hard Rock legends. The album features contributions from all four members, including co-founders Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons and longtime members guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer. Monster represents Kiss' nod to the music that first inspired the band to pick up their guitars and flame-throwers, and don makeup to entertain millions. The group goes back to it's own beginnings with the Who-like 'Freak,' while Gene lives up to the title track's declaration on the raucous rock of 'Back to the Stone Age' and the bludgeoning 'The Devil is Me.' 'There are no symphony orchestras, boy choirs, keyboards, outside producers or songwriters on this album,' promises Gene Simmons. 'The best thing we did was to turn inwards to ourselves. Tommy and Eric have revitalized this band, with a work ethic and the talent to back it up. This is a real band effort. Kiss has become a behemoth. We're going where no bands have gone before.'
